A Perfect World

Joan Wangler, ICF Master Certified Coach

(written and published when she was about 9)

Can you imagine a perfect world

A world without any fear

A world where only friendship thrives

And hope throughout the year

A world where there’s no question

About religion, creed, or race

A world where one could speak out loud

And not run to hide her face

Now these may seem like fantasies

Or maybe bold-faced lies

But this world was envisioned

In a newborn infant’s eyes.
